T-Mobile subscribers looking to get in on the whole musicphone craze at a bare minimum of expense need look no further than the just-announced Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, a colorful candybar
previously announced for other parts of the world that features a 2 megapixel cam, 2-inch QVGA display, integrated FM radio, and -- most importantly -- a 3.5mm headphone jack. Considering that there's no 3G, we're not necessarily sure why you'd pick this over the stylish
5310 -- especially considering that it's now free on contract -- but if you're digging the new model in either its Black / Red or White / Aqua color schemes, you're welcome to grab it now for $29.99 on a two-year deal after discount and rebate.

I love my Nokia 5310. Seriously, it's the size of the original iPod Nano. I totally dig it. Great camera, good battery life, works as a modem, etc.

Cool. I can get used to the FM radio function. That appeals to me the most for some reason.

The only advantage this has over the 5310 to me is that it's quad band rather than just tri-band (850/1800/1900 for US/Canada and 900/1800/1900 for everywhere else.) Also it appears that the micro SD card is capable of up to 16 GB where th e 5310 maxes at 4 GB (or so I've been lead to believe.)
This newer model Xpress Music phone also appears to be thicker than the 5310 as well.
As a side note: I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my second replacement since the first one the alarm function wouldn't work. The one that I'm getting a replacement for the phone crashes when trying to update currency conversion rates in the converter ap.

I am excited as T-Mobile has come up with the latest 5130 music phone. The design is very simple and decent. The display is quite bright, very attractive. The picture quality is decent enough. The music player is outstanding. This phone is specially meant for music lovers. Battery life is very satisfying. The only drawback is the slippery keypad. Overall, it performs well and is worth buying. For more details on other models refer http://www.techsoft.org/
